Alone and lonely she moves
to the rhythms of long ago
locked door and shades drawn
she floats in gauzy time
bare legs flashing
a waltz with her heart's love
an apparition
someone she adored
tall and slim he was
bright eyes fixed on hers
as they embraced
what heart's balm
will cure her melancholy
now that he's gone
forever?

Definition: Poetry is an imaginative awareness of experience expressed through meaning, sound, and rhythmic language choices so as to evoke an emotional response. Poetry has been known to employ meter and rhyme, but this is by no means necessary. Poetry is an ancient form that has gone through numerous and drastic reinvention over time. The very nature of poetry as an authentic and individual mode of expression makes it nearly impossible to define.
